If you find yourself getting into a rut with your photography, you might try using your camera to create interesting designs using birds as a theme. It does require getting quite close to your subject, but hey ... isn't that a challenge. Can you identify the bird?    Ken Pugh (Chilliwack) |

I am not sure if I would have got it from the last 2 pix but the first one is a dead giveaway. But so as not to incriminate myself (make myself look stupid) I will let someone else answer.  : |

I was going to say Crow but I think it might be a Red-winged Blackbird

I thought someone would have it by now Ken. Okay, I will risk my reputation and say it is a Stellars Jay.

My first hunch, based on the 1st photo only, was of a Northern Flicker......

Bingo on the Stellar's Jay Len. Well done. Now for no 2 and 3. I know these can be tricky.
